A Lot Like Birds

I'm starting to think that maybe I'm wrong It's easy to forget what you're fighting for and what matters more But maybe I'm not. What if only time can tell? Well, until then we'll try this again I feel colder without you But I've learned to embrace the ch...

Don't we all arrive at the same place where we began? Don't we all arrive where we began? Don't we all arrive at the same place where we began? Don't we all arrive where we began? Don't we all arrive at the same place where we began? Don't we all arrive...

On a bench, dark in autumn, you wore the shadow like a dress Mixing the whiskey with questions, leaving nothing unconfessed Your body was drawn in the passing headlights, shapes unseen in the rear view mirror You stumbled onto some honesty and then, pressed...

Go through solid stages not noticing me. Hands hold tightly. No one shares. Go through solid stages not noticing me. Hands hold tightly. No one shares. Doll it up! At the rate the paint is peeling off the wall, we'll need to cover it! Before it all falls apar...

You told me to smile because at least we’re both alive, and I smiled just for you And there’s truth in what you said, but I can’t clear the mantra, chanting, singing in my head It tells me life’s a brittle bone - it says the meat of life is death These are...

I remember proudly stepping over glass That you said could never cut me If I walked where you walked Kept my hand in your hand So I clung onto you I remember soundly leaping over rocks That you promised I would never trip on If I kept my eyes up nothin...

We came together with the waves Connected, collapsing with our fur undressed We were gods of moments Fascinating, timeless, unafraid Basking in the brilliance of the sun But just as suns rise, so do suns set We put our own into the ground, let the light...

Oh won’t you come to me? I wanna feel your body gasping, wanna listen to you breathe Oh won’t you come to me? I wanna feel you wrap around me, wanna drag you down with me Tear the color from the walls, drink the life from every painting, do the things we’...

Good people do such bad things when untended to Good soil with such dead leaves bearing rotten fruit Kinetically, I am what you give to me Give me trust and I’ll be trusting Separately, when I’m not where you can see The machinery that keeps us on is rus...

I wish I could, But I can't rest as easy as you, I never really could anyway, And thoughts of the future make me worry, Heart, Settle down, This isn't your last day, You'll wake up tomorrow. This bedroom never gets to see the light of day, The shades...

The sign above the door says no solicitors, whereas the vines along the wall scream no visitors at all; family, friend, stranger or otherwise. I never came in through the front door anyway though and I'd been here a million times. I'd lived a secret, favorite...

When I look back at all the times that I somehow let you pass me by I was so convinced that we’d align, so convinced that we’d remain I think a part of me is still so sure, if I somehow found the words I could make it all better, you could call on me becaus...

The cool air Takes me back, Just for a moment, And I spend it all without realization. I have to go back. I have to go back. It's not fair. I wish that time would stop for me, Just this once, But it never will, so run it off. I'm still here. I know you're wai...

Losing a whole year, Losing a whole year, I remember you and me, Used to spend the whole, God damned day in bed, Losing a whole year, Lying in your room, We'd lay like dogs, And the phone would ring, Like a joke that's left unsaid, Losing a whole...

Someone cruel gave me my dreams last night. I barely stood before a darkened closet, baring skin and soul before its unseen jaws. "You will never be the creature that you were when you were younger," it whispered. We get disconnected from our childhood. We tel...

(Premeditate!) I can't see far past the present and fortune-telling's not my profession but I can see the crystal ball, formed out of the water. Through it, I can see it all. When they ask you, what are you hiding from: all of the others in the way! And on th...

I fell for anything that seemed mysterious I was obsessed with the piece that wouldn't fit I felt so caught inside of you - we made a trap and we lived in it You never cover up You never make it hard to get close Oh, what have you got me into? Where’s...

I say the devil runs this hole and hides his subjects wisely. We won't be waiting. We won't be waiting. Oh please. (Give it up!) Don't use your spells on me. (Give it up! Do your worst!) Disruption, the séance, a curse upon all of us. An addiction to chaos? I...

All I really wanted was this home, a place to get away from all the cold. I think I'm okay now, much more aware. My body is failing, getting slowly there. And we choose to remember, always the same place. Can we move on past the outpost? We thought that each o...

Il était une fois When learning how to crawl became a substitute for walking Biting my tongue a fair exchange for talking to myself Knocking pictures off the shelf and swallowing the frames Spilling wine to comment on the stain. I need a mind erase option, le...

Oh, the motor in the back of your neck Is begging and calling for sex And the lizards are laying some monstrous eggs In an entropic tropical mess While you're sleeping, I'm crawling I've crept to the edge of the bed Where you've slept for a thousand nigh...

Within the shadows of the ever-barren, we decompose like decrepit particles, windows of your inner being. Neglecting what is loved. It's the absence of substenance. Struggling to exist in this hallowed yet hollow shell. Hey you, your guard's up but the whole r...

You commie-loving, death-counting tally-keeping delinquent I love the way you suck me in. It's my favorite form of sin And all this nonsense banter it's like I'm talking to an infant I made the best mistake I could make I've thought of worse before but thi...

Well, I might have to diffuse this one. Call the listeners but they don't speak the same tongue. Send me away. You laugh and scoff and spit out false intellect. Guess I'll let you have your way this once for the greater goal of us. Sometimes it's better to let...

Save your arms and legs, Cause you're the mother, And no one will hold us up for so long, We will always resort to fodder, We crawl in the crack, Falling through your limbs, If she was here, She'd say be careful, But she'd already let it go. Do as I say,...

Let me down easy. There's no reason to tease me If you don't need me, please let me go Playing with my dreams? Not anymore Time is dancing on my chest and its casting stones It's casing parts, each one of them antagonist And I'm trying to feed the wasp in...

Do you remember throwing your shadow on top of mine with our bodies backlit by soft lamps in a bedroom as bare as you and I were? Do you remember making abstract shapes with our skin, once water and oil, now as mixed as time and tide? Do you remember laughter?...

Dead stars in jewelry boxes spill as we rush past them, lain to waste We can’t have everything we want, some things will have to stay There is no beauty in the fire but there is beauty in the way your eyes locked willingly with death and death turned trembli...

To the fish in the sea, put your mouths on my hook. If I’m soft, will you give me the medusa look? Well, your dress lit the floor on fire when it touched. So my little black book, how it shook, how it shook, how it shook shook shook shook SHOOK! I heard th...

Knocking on doors and swallow every key Knocking on doors and swallow every key, carelessly What a terrible time we had, do you want it back? What a terrible time we had, do you want it back, timelessly? We lived in the smallest world and all of it darken...

True you say you are, I’ll be honest, When I say I’m not, Use any excuse, To get what I want, I tell you what you wanna hear, Hurting you is the only thing, That I could do. And I tried to make a motive of good intention without attention, So I’ll ha...

Hold your tongue! It doesn't own you Or does it by default? You can't pretend that it's not weighing you down or that you really even want me around cause you don't I know that burdens are a girls best friend in the end you'd give it up for the weekend...

This is my body at war! No hesitation, this is entrapment entangling me Where's my attorney to defend or keep my mind from indulging? I've failed! And my nerves have lost their touch My eyes can't see so much and if my heart is the next to go How my brain...
